More markets for the ASEAN Championship game, scheduled for August 19 at 9:00 AM ET.
Vietnam enter the second leg of their 2026 ASEAN Championship semifinal holding a commanding 2-0 advantage after a disciplined away win at Kuala Lumpur Stadium, where Rafaelson opened the scoring and a late own goal extended the lead. The Golden Star Warriors have dominated recent head-to-head encounters, winning their last seven meetings while conceding just twice, and arrive with strong group-stage momentum including a 7-0 rout of Timor-Leste. Malaysia reached the semifinals but showed defensive vulnerabilities and limited attacking threat in the first leg, where Vietnam controlled possession and transitions after an even opening. With the return fixture at My Dinh Stadium and no major reported injuries disrupting either squad, traders price Vietnam as heavy favorites to advance while recognizing Malaysia’s need for an early goal to force extra time or penalties.
